The force is no longer with him
RIP James Earl Jones. One of my favorite celebrity bike customers ever. Humble and kind and he never even bothered asking what they cost.

First experienced Mr Jones as Thulsa Doom. Star Wars voice-over didn’t imprint quite the same. Loved Conan comics and the movies as a young teen.

What a career- everything from Dr. Strangelove to Roots, Star Wars, even the Simpsons. RIP

wouldn't the star wars nerds say that death does not mean that the force has left him?

Just saw someone post a clip of him doing Letterman’s Top 10 of “Things that sound cooler when read by James Earl Jones”.
Classic Dave, classic JEJ not taking himself too seriously.I still call it The Jake.

He was also the last surviving member of the cast of Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove which came out in 1964. That's quite a multi-decade spanning career. A total legend.

There was another black and white nuclear apocalypse movie he was in. Anybody remember the name? He's on a ship that is hunting a Soviet sub. I think it is from before Dr. Strangelove.

Ya, I know that. And that wasn't what I was thinking of. The Bedford Incident is the movie, I had the wrong actor. Originally Posted by tang

Even cooler, Mr Jones was the first celebrity guest to appear on Sesame Street. Fly high Jedi:
"We remember and honor the incredible life of James Earl Jones. As the first celebrity guest to appear on Sesame Street, he forever shaped how we reach both children and their caregivers. His timeless contributions to education, entertainment, and the arts have left an indelible mark on generations. Thank you for being part of our street, Mr. Jones. " -- Sesame Street
Very good as the CIA Chief in THE HUNT FOR RED OCTOBER. Especially the scene where he surprises Jack Ryan (Alec Baldwin) telling him who’s giving a White House briefing … Originally Posted by tang
